I think Harris Tauqeer overrates Pakistani side of 80s because frankly speaking they looked coolest side visually. They had those bushy hairstyles of British/American rock bands of 1970s/80s.

 

Would like to know more about his Pakistani connection. Sanjay Manjrekar is understandable because he got his 200 against Imran Khan but what about Harris Tauqeer?

[Gollum]

8 overs 8/3, almost 2 decades after retirement, lucky old man

Pakpeek.com, not Pakbheek mind you....

[Norman]

Lol for a moment I was like "what the fukk ! Another Pakistani overrating thread" then I saw it's @Gollum and I knew where this was going...

[Suhaan]

I may have mocked pak cricket before but when it comes to truth i rate them pretty highly and this one from op--

Does Pakistan produce max and highest quality talent in the world?

i knew ,the 3rd 'yes' always meant pakstan

so have gone for that very 'yes'

correct  @Gollum? All ok now?

ho gaya tumhara?

Thand paye gai kaleje vich?
